Robert Swayze, mentioned in Friday's Star WE WILL BE ON HAND. President Hewett on the Base Ball Situation. President Walter Hewett of the local base ball club has written a letter to the public in which he sets at rest the rumors that have arisen that he intends to withdraw from the National leagne and the base ball business, In conclusion, after stating his course during the winter touching upon the Baltimore deal and the Detroit matter, he says: “Lhave taken a five years’ lease on the p-w grounds and awarded the contract for the erection of the stand, fences, &c., and will have an eligibly located ball park next season which, I believe, will be a credit to the city. I om getting together as good a team as the experience of Mr. Sullivan with young players will permit and already have tweive men under contract. I expect to secure several more good men, and believe the team will compare favor- ably with any club in the league which has had to make a new start in getting a club together, as I have had to do, “In conclusion, I desire to state most em- pees that Washington will be in the eague next season and as long thereafter as the ball-loving public shows its appreciation of the sport by its support. I intend to do what I can to build up a first-class club, and situated as the league is at present, with the brother- hood fight on its hands, for my club I ouly ask the support and indulgence of the public.” ‘This is the first really frank statement of the case that has come from Mr. Hewett in regard to the situation, and, us it gives the moat direct indications of a lively buse ball policy next year, it will undoubtedly be welcomed by the enthusiasts. DOES HE MEAN WASHINGTON. ‘The New York Sun contained the following Paragraph yesterday in relation to the reduc- tion of the league back to eight clubs: “The situation requires it,” said a prominent gentleman connected with the league, “aud You can almost depend upon it to a certainty that eight clubs will be the quota, I would not like to state just what clubs will drop out. but when the time arrives to effect such an ar- rangement there will be no ill_ feeling enge’ dered, considerable mouey to purchase these clubs outright, but when it comes to a good fat offer | I don’t imagine there will be any hesitation in accepting. Ex-President Leland of the Sixth national ban! difticulty, was offered $625 a share for his stock and he accepted it willingly. Why shouldo’t he when the market value was only $400? I contend, therefore, that if the league ways eight clubs money will be forthcoming to make it pleasant for stockholders of the re- uring clubs.” —____ The Drum Point Railroad. To the Editor of Tux Evesine Stan: I wish to call the attention of Congress through your valuable paper to the great damage to our beautiful city if the Drum Point railroad is permitted to extend its road into the city west of 15th street northeast. There has been no end to railroad interference in our city for some years past. They will not be subject to even Congress, and therefore great care should be exercised in granting to them privileges likely to be regretted in a very short Period of time, T would say right here that I long to the progressive people, but at the sume time like to see the transportation lines placed where they will not destroy more than they can build up. I have seen the pegs driven for this line of road east of Loth street and know whereof I speak. The line cross runs directly to the junction of Tenne avenue, £ and 15th streets, which is the east boundary of the city. ‘This should be its | terminus. A better would be Graceland ceme- ery (which should be condemned asa burial tallevents). and then there would be no objection to the use of all the land between Bennings road and Bladensburg east of Bladens- burg road for railroad purposes, BLN. Juvenile Temple Party. The members of Holloway independent juvenile temple made public expression of gratitude and esteem for their superintendent, Miss Annie K. Bond, in a merry party given in Golden Cross hall Saturday evening. It was in a double sense a birthday recognition. It was in honor of the anniversary of the birth of the ‘superintendent and organizer of the temple and second anniversary of the organiza- tion, both events falling onthe eame date. Mrs. Lazelle and Mrs. Rice were present to wait upon and aid their own children anda host of other little foiks in the pretty and proper manifestation, which comprised social. niusical and literary features and a bountiful repast. —<—<—.___ The Triple Pledge Advocated.

Sunday school held their missionary anniversary last night, The motto in golden letters was: “Watchman, what of the night, the morning cometh.” The pro- Sram consisted of siuging missionary songs by the school, recitations by Miss Martha Goth- waite, Alexander Davidson and Jennie Moran and recitations by twelve little girls who re- cited verses and the Apostles creed and chanted the Lord's prayer: also by seven girls who beautifully recited a piece called “Work for the Master,” and brought in seven sheaves, and while singing “Bringing in the Sheaves,” stacked them on the altar. The collections for the school amounted to $262 and for the church $145; total, $407. a Recent Burglaries. 1 John B.

The wind was blow- ing hard at the time’and a noise was heard on one of the upper floors like the groans of a man, “Burglars!" one of the women ejacn- lnted, and then all hands were scared. Most of the women had retired for the night, but they were eo badly frightened that they got up and dressed. Two of them hastened to police headquarters and informed the officers that there was a man in the house. Sergeant Perry and Detective Raff went to search for the in- truder, They heard the noise as the women had deseribed it to them, but when they got into the room they failed to finda man. © The groaning was heard again and the ofticers then discovered that the noise was made by the wind blowing against a fireboard. The board was fastened and the females again retired for the night. — A Fatal Glass of Wh'sky. Charles Washington, a colored man twenty- nine years old, who resided at 3d and D streets southwest, died at the alms house hospital yes- terday afternoon. He was found lying in the street Saturday night by Officers Augasta and Foster and was supposed to be intoxicated and was taken to the fifth precinct. Here he gave his name and residence aud stated that he was uffering from a terrible pain in his stomach. He was shown to the lodgers’ room. Yesterday morning he complained of still greater pain and said'that he was going to die; that he had taken a drink of whisky Saturda; ening ina Maryland avenue saloon, when he was seized with the misery and been suffering pains ever since, an: certain that the whisky had been “conjured” and that it had poisoned him. He was sent to the alms house hospital yester- day morning aud dicd in the afternoon in the j full belief that he had been “conjured.” >. — Order of the Golden Cross, Notwithstanding the inclement evening and the consequent small attendance the reguiar meeting of Halcyon commandery, No. 128, U.0.G.C., Friday night at Golden Cross hall was n interesting occasion, James 8 Sharp was obligated in the order, and applications for membership were received from Morris Thorn, Miss Iola f.

Prof. Atwater Says Americans Eat Too Much Meat and Sweets. The second of the course of lectures given under the auspices of the scieatific societies of this city and the Smithsonian Institution was delivered in the lecture room of the national museum Saturday afternoon. Prof. W. 0. Atwater of the Agricultural department was the lecturer and be took for his subject “Food and health.” He spoke of the adaptation of food tothe needs of the body and of the evils of over eating and insufficient nutrition. He said that over eating did more harm to the race than the curse of alcohol and to it were due more of the ills of mortal flesh. The excessive consumption of meat and sweets are two evils to which the American people are addicted. Many persons of sedentary habits, who really need Little solid food comparatively, consame as much as though they were occupied in severe muscular labor. Thus we impose upon our bodies the tusk of disposing of a large amount of muterial in excess of its needs, mak- ing, as it necessarily does, a frightful drain upon our health and happiness, igre A Good Suggestion. To the Editor of Tae Etextue Stan: In your edition of Thursday last I saw a sug- gestion from some one that the firemen be fur- nished with india rabber sacks, so that in case of fire, where exit from the house is cut off by the flames, lives might be saved by jumping from the windows upon these sacks, inflated with air and held up by the firemen, To show that the suggestion is a good one I would like to call your attention to an incident in Philadelphia a short time ago. ing on the east side of Farragut | Square, not a stone's throw from the Tracy house, and in full view of it, was living in an | English basement house, one of a row situated | at 16th and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, She | was aroused one moruing by the ery of “fire.” | She soon found it was her own house that was | burning aud that exit by means of the stairs wus cut off; 40, rushing to the windows, she soon made the situation known to the crowd in the street, when some sensible man procured a | mattress from a neighboring house and a num- ber of men held it firmly up and advised the family to jump. The lady's husband gazed THE GERMAN ORPHAN ASYLUM. Interesting Ceremonies at the Laying | tar trqvor LICENSE of the Corner Stone. Two or three thousand people from the suburbs and city gathered at the German or- phan asylum on the Good Hope road at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to witness the corner stone laying of the new brick structure ‘that is to be the home of many orphans, It was formerly a Protestant asylum, but the re- ligious distinction has been discarded and now that the government has made an appropria- tion for the institution the distinction of ns- tionality will be dropped. THE ADDRESSES. The president of the society, Mr. Jacob Jose, from an ontdoor platform erected for the oc- casion, opened the exercises with au address in German, touching upon the noble character of the work, and was followed with music by the Sengerbund and Maennerchor societies, Rey. Mr. Mueller, pastor of the Concordia Lutheran church, conducted in German the ceremony of laying the corner stone. In his dress he reviewed the charitable work in Europe and this country by German_philan- thropiste, paying high tributes to Augustus Franki, Mex Mueller, Dr. Passavant and others. Anumber of the orphans of the home sang a song in the German tongue, at the conclusion ot which the stone, containing copies of the city papers. coins and a roster of the society, was placed in position aud a benediction pro- nounced. After a selection by Donch’s band Mr. Simon Wolf made the closing address in English, which was laudatory of the general character of the work and of the zeal shown by the men and women who have given this home their special attentiou, The “Ave Maria” was ren- dered by the Saengerbund and the vast throng slowly dispersed, many lingering to share the refreshments served and contribute to the fund OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, The following are the officers and directors of theassociation: Mr. Jacob Jose, president; Chas, Graff, vice president; Reinhold Springsguth, secretary; John L.

Then, taking up her young child, she dropped it from the third-story window upon the mattress and it was taken up unharmed. Then bidding her husband a hasty farewell she also dropped from | the window and landed safely upon the mat- | tress, The husband refused to jump and perished in the flames.

In New York and Philadelphia, and in fact in almost all of the large cities, there are clubs to which all college graduates are eligible. They are among the most suc- cessful of all clubs, for the members have much in common, and college graduates are, as a rule, a companionable set of men. ‘There must be at least 500 graduates living in this city and there may be ucarer 1,000. If some one would only take the initiative and calla meeting to discuss the formation of such a club 1 think it would go through with a rush, if one might judge from the inter- est Mr. Voorhees’remarks aroused Friday night, Clubs of this sort make a pleasant place of re- union for college men, and graduates visiting here for a few dayr would have some place where they might see their classmates and renew old friendships. Were such an organ- ization formed it seems as though there could be no doubt of its success, If the secretaries of the varions almuni associations should feel enough interest in the matter to get together aud calla meeting of the graduates in this town they would soon find, I think, that such a plan could be carried into effect with great suc- Purxceronian, ee Officers of a Students Association. ‘The students association of the medical de- partment of Georgetown university have elected officers as follows: Huarlon R.

To the Editor of Tue EVENING Stan: Who is the caterer quoted in the article in Saturday's issue of Tae Star telling “What a Caterer Sees of Life”? I want to know. Not for publication, you know, butas an evidence of good faith, The caterer who tells you that -‘the remains of a chicken salad are just as good for another party, and the croquettes, terrapin and most other things, likewise,” is the caterer that I want to avoid. I maintain thata chicken or lobster salad should never be compounded— that is, the meats, celery and dressing should not be mixed—until just before serving. Even a very few hours delay will greatly impair its quality; but when it comes to be held over “for auother party”—bah! The same is true, though not in so greata degree, of terrapin. It is not so seriously injured by time and subsequent warmings over--and this process doesn’t want to be repented too often, either, —but the sooner it is eaten after being first properly cooked the better.

APPLICATION DEPOstT FUND. | Declared a Draw in Order to Catch a Train. At Abita Springs, 62 miles from New Orleans, Andy Bowen, champion local light-weight, and Chas. Johnson of Minneapolis fought yester- day for 100 and the profits of the excursion. In order to have the sun overhead tho men did not enter the ring until 1:15 o'clock. The ring Was pitched in an old bull pen, with plank seats arranged around in amphitheater style. Every native in town was present, and these with the excursionists made a total of six hundred, who paid $2 each to witness the mill. At 1:15 o'clock Johnson made his appearance, accompanied by his seconds, Tom Casey, a local pugilist, and Tommy Ward, feather-weight. Bowen entered shortly afterward, attended by Jas. Sweeney, who seconded Vacquelin in last Sunday's fight with Kilrain, and the English Kid. Johnson ve in his ake at 13715 and Bowen at 133!,. fohnson is mach taller, but not so broad and muscular as Bowen.

On the whole Bowen received the worst punishment, being cut se- verely in the mouth and eye.

Newspapers have done much to abbreviate expression and so to improve style. They are to oceupy during your generation a large share of attention, (This was said nearly a quarter of acentury ago. It was as if he sawabead the blanket editions,) And the most studious and engaged man can neglect them only at his cost. But have little to do with them. Learn how to get their best, too, without their getting yours. Do not read them when the mind is creative. And do not read them thoroughly, column by column, Remember that they are made for everybody, and don't try to get what isn’t meant for you. The miscellany, for instance, should not receive your attention. There is a great secret in kaowing what to keep out of ‘the mind as well as what to put in. And even if you find yourself interested in the selections You cannot use them, because the origival source is not a reference. You can't quote from a newspaper, Like some insects, it died the day it was born. The genuine news is what you want and practice quick searches for it. Give yourself ouly so many minutes for the paper. Then you will learn to avoid the premature reports and anticipations and the stuff put in for people who have nothing to ——— ce0 _- A New Paris Pursuit. A new celebrity is making his appearance slong the boulevards of Paris, He is a well- dressed, intelligent-looking youth, who saunters along the terraces of the principal cafes scanning the faces of the consommateurs until he catches sight of one that strikes bis fancy. Dofting his hat politely he thus accosts the gentleman he has singled out. “Will monsieur be good enough to ask me any questions he pleases relating to the his- tory of France from the time of Pharamond down to Napoleon II? I can tell the monsteur the day, even the hour of the birth, marriage or death of any historical personage.” In nine cases out of ten this walking encyclo- predia has so well chosen his man that mon- sieur thus addressed puts to him a number of Questions, all of which are answered correctly and instantly, to the astonishment of the per- sons around and to the profit of the inventor of this novel method of earning a livelihood, The World’s Fair. From the Morning Star and Catholic Messenger. In our last issue we announced that we thought Washington, the capital of these United States, as the most fitting place to hold the world’s fair. Now we suggest the propriety that every patriotic son and daughter, whether native born or alien, contribute the sum of $1 towards this d undertaking which will re- dound to the honor and pride of all the inhab- itants of the country.
